Disliked: Cleanliness
This hostel is fine for a night or two, not very clean, bedrooms are kind of set up awkwardly, but the lockers are big enough for all your stuff. The bathrooms weren’t the cleanest and the walls were a bit dirty in my room, but all areas just seemed a bit grimey. The breakfast was cheap and good which was a nice option, there was also a larger kitchen area that a lot of people seemed to be using.

First timer

Having stayed in a hostel for the very first time, I had a great time. The rooms are large, beds comfortable and bathrooms clean. The staff is extremely helpful and the location is perfect for walking around València.

Highly recommended

My friends and I stayed here for 2 days and they were the best. The place is maintained well and it’s very professional. The location is very central and everything is walking distance. Our first hostel experience was very good. Staff is amazing.

Stayed in a 4 bed shared. Staff was mostly nice. They gave me a padlock to use during my stay. Toilets were terrible. Showers were not as bad as toilets but smelling bad. My room took all the outside noise. Breakfast was terrible.
